(NYR/CAR) - Skjei for a 2020 1st round pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AwesomeMatthews</b></div><div>every prospect the Hurricanes has is just an asset to move for an already proven NHL'er its an NBA style of thinking that the Hurricanes owner likes.</div></div>
We are trading maybe's for young definitely's, if we were trading young unproven guys for old last of there prime years guys i mould agree, but Skjei is 25, Trocheck is 26, and Vatanan is 28, they are proven talent and they are young enough to have an positive impact for 5-7 years. The team is built to win right now, sitting on guys to come in in 3-4 years is too long to wait while the team is very good. We still have most of our draft picks, our top end prospects are untouched, and we have bolstered our lineup to have the best D- Core in the league for many years to come whilst keeping each individual player relatively cheap.
Cheap shot here, but the leafs paying a giant % of the teams cap to superstars and trying to fill in a roster for the rest of the team is more of an NBA mindset than what is going on here *Hat tip*

SO the leafs traded Carolina a first for cap space and that first turned into Brady Skjei... That's incredible XD. Y'all talking about Skjei like hes garbage, he's a young top 4 defenseman making 5.25, that is not that bad and we got it basically for free for being responsible with our cap space.

KassianTkachuk Anyone see that
Those hits hurt a lot more than the punches, but Tkachuck was right, he took the 2 min powerplay, his team scored and Calgary gets a huge 2 points over a division rival. As cathartic as it was for many hockey fans to see Tkachuck get thrown around for a bit it just wasn't very smart to do that. I dont feel bad for either of them, but I do feel bad for Conner Mcdavid, all he wants to do is win and that dumb **** losing him games is a constant now. Please get out of Edmonton for your mental health

2019-20 GM Game - General Discussion
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MrBooth</b></div><div>If the game was entirely based upon the CBA, there wouldn't be any of the following: trade reversals, GMs who vote on whether other team's trades stand or not, inability to retain excessive amounts, GM firings for inadequate performances, and a limit on the number of waiver claims allowed per month. Therefore, the purpose of a trade freeze in this alternate-reality game is worth questioning...my two cents</div></div>
It is true, we have appropriated many of the CBA's rules and regulations, but on a meta level I see this as a reaction to our fictional environment. The 32 owners of the NHL teams have found that their organizations are being controlled by GM's that are, in many cases, below the level they are willing to accept. I'm sure Edmonton is surprised and confused by this notion but many wouldn't be. It makes sense that to protect their investments they put a governing body over the leagues general managers, both as a precautionary measure to protect investments and as an opportunity to directly encourage more equal competition (We all know Bettman has wanted this power since he started).
That being said, while the trust owners have in their managers has been in question for a few years now the players association has taken this opportunity to change hockey to be safer and more player friendly by changing the goals of the game. The game is now based off of more skill based incentive scoring instead of puck in net caveman style pissing matches of hitting and fighting. They pushed for the value of advanced statistics to give better determinations of value of skill across the league and the physical toll on players has been significantly decreased due to skill being rewarded and hitting and fighting being non-entities in winning effectively limiting hitting to a minimum and relegating fighting to an uncommon sideshow. In this renaissance of player safety there is no way in hell the owners would move to take away simple rights as the winter Holiday trade break.

best/worst trades of the decade...
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>since the 2010's are wrapping up... I think its time to make a decade list of the best/worst trades of this decade... there's so many that we could discuss on here. so im curious to see what everyone thinks...

one of the best trades:
<a href="https://www.nhl.com/news/penguins-acquire-kessel-from-maple-leafs/c-773329" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nhl.com/news/penguins-acquire-kessel-from-maple-leafs/c-773329</a>
While Pens paid a pretty significant price (main assets were a first round pick and Kapanen). There is NO DOUBT in my mind that Pens would not have won back to back cups without Kessel. Pens were coming off the worst season of the Crosby/Malkin Era (8th in Eastern conference, First round playoff loss in 5 games). And it seemed to many that Pittsburgh was no longer cup contenders. Not only that... but Pittsburgh Penguins were FOR SALE during summer of 2015. Acquiring Kessel sent a message that Pens were still in it to win it and Crosby/Malkin/Letang/Fleury core still had more to prove. The rest is obviously history.
on the Toronto side of things: moving Kessel pretty much guaranteed them securing last place in the NHL and showed the full commitment management had to a rebuild. Leafs then had the highest chances at winning the draft lottery and landed Matthews with 1st Overall. On top of that, leafs gained Kapanen who is a good top 6 winger and a first round pick which helped them acquire a starting goalie in Freddy Anderson. The only "knock" for the leafs is that they had to retain 1.2 million on Kessel's contract which is still effecting them to this day.
Adding Kessel sent a m</div></div>
To be the worst trade it has to work out for neither team and make both teams significantly worse. The trade that does that is Subban and Weber. It didn't work out for either team and it was a big name trade.

(MTL / NSH) - Weber for Subban
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>I don't think Subban was better than Weber. The only thing Subban had going for him was his offensive game. Weber is a defensive defensemen that happens to be putting up close to PK Subban numbers.</div></div>
The PK Subban that was traded away was a parenial all star with crazy high offensive output. He was also in his prime and would likely still be right now if he wasn't traded. The Weber they got was past his prime and had early struggles with the team when they were actually trying to be competitive. And Weber is doing good right now, but Subban was putting up those fantastic offensive numbers in a lower scoring time than today where Weber is starting to score. Prime Subban was significantly better than current Weber. Prime Weber was significantly better than prime Subban but that's not what Montreal got. I think cooler heads should have prevailed and both teams would have been better off if they didn't do anything.

Subban in Montreal was better than Weber in Montreal.
Weber in Nashville was better than Subban in Nashville.
All said in done, this is a case of neither team should have done it because it made them both worse.

(STL/DET) - Fabbri for De La Rose
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsForEver</b></div><div>It was a clear win for Detroit the minute the trade was made. De La Rose was and isn't going to be anything more than a 4th line PKing center.</div></div>
The Blues knew they got the less valuable player when they made the trade, the fit with the coach was just not there so they got a player that fit better with the Blues. They like Fabbri as a player and person so they put him on a team that is seeing a turnaround with Stevie Y coming in, and a team that will play a style that he would thrive under. They put him into a position to succeed while also putting him out of their conference because they are not stupid. These type of player conscious decisions are a reason that players love to play in St. Louis, and why people that grew up with the club like Pat Maroon respect the organization enough to take a pay cut to come here. David Perron has been moved out of St. Louis 3 times for hockey and personal reasons but each time when he had a choice he choose to come back to St. Louis because its a first class organization for players. Hell Patrick Bergland got moved out and he hated Buffalo so much compared to St Louis that he wouldn't play for them at all. Teams that treat players well vs teams that treat players poorly right there. Look at Ryan O'Rielly, people called him a soft player that was a crybaby, really he worked for an organization that treated its players like **** and when he got moved to a class A organization like St. Louis we all saw the difference in effort and productivity. Underrated aspect of hockey.

I think this is just a misunderstanding of value and need. The hurricanes could make a play for AA but the value is what he is right now and age. Goat is younger and in my opinion a slightly lower class player than AA but the gap in value is relatively close. I think maybe Goat a second and somebody who will not work out in Carolina but maybe somewhere else. Its not a bad idea, and the fit is a good one on the surface just a misunderstanding of value

Jake Allen Appreciation Post
I just want to make sure people realize that Jake Allen is a good goalie and he is playing amazing as our backup this year, 927 sv% at the time of this post and we will not forget the year Jake Allen played out of his mind to get the Blues to the conference finals. I know we all get frustrated with him at times but as a backup goaltender while Binnington finishes developing we must appreciate and not abandon hope in our goalies. Blues fans are quick to dog pile on goalies historically (I still love you Brian) so now that we are a Cup Champions we must give recognition to those that got us here. Jake Allen for all his faults in his game at the end of the day is really good at his job. When he was asked to be the number one, come playoff time, he got his job done. We asked him to take a backseat to the hot young Binnington, and he accepted his role and welcomed Jordan with open arms and supported him every step of the way. Jake Allen is a good person, a great teammate, and an amazing backup goaltender for the St Louis Blues and I hope one day when the Blues need to move his contract we recognize all that he did for us.
